CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority Chinese Patent Application No. 201711015965.8, filed on 25 Oct. 2017, entitled “Trusted Remote Proving Method, Device, and System” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of Internet technology applications, and in particular, to trusted remote proving methods, apparatuses, and systems.

BACKGROUND

In a cloud environment, in the scenario where the software and hardware configurations of the server platform system are dynamically changed, when the servers interact with each other, how to mutually authenticate the communication party is a legitimate user request from a legitimate and trusted platform.

In conventional techniques, TPM-Based Remote Proving (TRA) based on the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is an activity that promises the integrity of a target. As an example, the challenger makes a decision on whether the target's status is integrated based on the integrity evidence provided by the target. This activity involves the following terms.

(1) Challenger is a participant who promises the integrity of the target.

(2) Target is a participant who provides the integrity evidence to prove the integrity of its status.

(3) TPM is a security chip that provides guarantee for the integrity and authenticity of the evidence, typically, this chip is physically bound to the computing platform.

(4) TPM-Based Remote Proving Protocol (TRAP) is an agreement involving three parties: challenger, target, and trusted platform module. The goal of the agreement is to provide the challenger with authoritative evidence to provide evidential guarantee for the correct decision of the challenger.

In conventional techniques, in the initialization phase, the TPM-based remote proving mechanism writes the platform configuration reference value into the PCR of the TPM when the deployment checking policy is initialized, and then takes effect after it is started. This is for the Basic Input Output System (BIOS), the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and other firmware, and the system OS kernel or the scenario where application software is continuously updated. The update of platform configuration and system software and hardware will cause the update of the checking policy and the restart of the device, resulting in difficulties in the management of the checking policy and the interruption of the business operation. Often, due to the update error of the checking policy, the checking fails, and the system fails to start.

Moreover, in the proving phase, the SML or PCR10 in the TPM-based remote proving mechanism is transmitted in plaintext during the transmission process. Thus, if the information is intercepted during the transmission process, the privacy will be revealed. Meanwhile, since it is completely open to the challenger, it is incapable of providing privacy protection for the challenger.

For the above, in the remote proving of conventional techniques, no effective solution has been proposed to solve the problem of the operation of the server terminal being affected during the policy deployment process and the information security caused by the plaintext transmission.

Embodiment 1

The present application provides a trusted remote proving system 100 as shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a trusted remote proving system 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present application. The trusted remote proving system 100 provided by this application includes the following: the first service trusted server 102, the second service trusted server 104, and the trusted remote proving server 106.

The second service trusted server 104 is configured to receive a challenge request sent by the first service trusted server 102 and obtain the to-be-verified information of the first service trusted server 102 in the challenge request.

The second service trusted server 104 is further configured to send the verification request to the trusted remote proving server 106, where the verification request includes the to-be-verified information of the first service trusted server 102. The second service trusted server 104 is further configured to obtain the verification response returned by the trusted remote proving server 106.

The trusted remote proving server 106 is configured to receive the verification request sent by the second service trusted server 104, where the verification request includes the to-be-verified information of the first service trusted server 102. The trusted remote proving server 106 is further configured to return the corresponding verification response to the second service trusted server 104 according to the verification request.

In an example embodiment, the trusted remote proving system 100 provided by the present application uses two the service trusted servers to bidirectionally verify the identity with each other and the legitimacy of the platform in an interaction process. The two the service trusted servers are respectively described by taking the service trusted server A (i.e., the first service trusted server 102 provided by the embodiment of the present application) and the service trusted server B (i.e., the second service trusted server 104 provided by the embodiment of the present application) as examples. The trusted remote proving server 106 is represented as a remote proving server V.

As shown in FIGS. 2A-2E, FIGS. 2A-2D are schematic diagrams of a verification process 200 in a trusted remote proving system according to Embodiment 1 of the present application, and FIG. 2E is a digest diagram of the verification process 200.

In the trusted remote proving phase, on the service trusted server A side:

Step 202, the service trusted server A generates a random number n.

Step 204, the service trusted server A processes the serial number A_(SN) and the random number n of the service trusted server using the public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(B) of the service trusted server B, and encrypt respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component by the platform identity public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v) of the trusted remote proving server V.

Step 206, the service trusted server A generates the challenge request using the certificate of the service trusted server A, the random number n, the serial number A_(SN) of the service trusted server and the random number n that are encrypted through the public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(B) of the service trusted server B, and respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component that are encrypted through the platform identity public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v) of the trusted remote proving server V.

Step 208, the service trusted server A sends the challenge request to the service trusted server B.

The challenge request of the service trusted server A may be expressed as follows:

{Cert_AIK_(A), {A_(SN), n}AIK_(pk) _(_) _(B),

{{Component_1, Policy_1, CMH1}, {Component_2, Policy_2, CMH2}, . . . {Component_n, Policy_n, CMHn}}AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v)

wherein {{Component_1, Policy_1, CMH1}, {Component_2, Policy_2, CMH2}, . . . {Component_n, Policy_n, CMHn}}AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v) represent respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component encrypted through the platform identity public key AIKpk_v of the trusted remote proving server V, where the component metric hash values (Component_Metri_Hash) CMH1 to CMHn are encrypted through the private key of the service trusted server A AIK_(priv) _(_) _(A).

On the service trusted server B side:

Step 210, the service trusted server B receives the challenge request of the service trusted server A;

Step 212, the service trusted server B verifies whether the certificate of the service trusted server A in the challenge request is legitimate. If the certificate is legitimate, Step 214 is performed. If the certificate is not legitimate, the process 200 is terminated at block 216.

Step 214, the serial number A_(SN) and the random number n of the service trusted server A encrypted through the service trusted server B public key in the challenge request is decrypted through the private key of the service trusted server B, to obtain the serial number A_(SN) of the service trusted server A and the random number n.

Step 218, a verification request is generated, where the service trusted server B generates the verification request according to the certificate Cert_AIK_(B) of the service trusted server B, the serial number B_(SN) of the service trusted server B, the serial number A_(SN) of the service trusted server A, the random number n−1, and respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component encrypted through the platform identity public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v) of the trusted remote proving server V.

Step 220, the verification request is sent to the trusted remote proving server V.

The verification request is as follows:

{Cert_AIK_(B),

{B_(SN), A_(SN), n−1}, {{Component_1, Policy_1, {CMH1}AIK_(priv) _(_) _(A)}, {Component_2, Policy_2, {CMH2}AIK_(priv) _(_) _(A)}, . . . {Component_n, Policy_n, {CMHn}AIK_(priv) _(_) _(A)}}AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v).

On the trusted remote proving server V side:

Step 222, the trusted remote proving server V receives the verification request.

Step 224, the trusted remote proving server V verifies whether the certificate of the service trusted server B is legitimate. If the certificate is legitimate, the process goes to Step 226. If the certificate is not legitimate, the operation is terminated at block 228.

Step 226, the trusted remote proving server V, through the private key of the trusted remote proving server V, decrypts respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component encrypted through the platform identity public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v) of the trusted remote proving server V. The trusted remote proving server V also decrypts the ciphertext of the component hash value with the public key of the service trusted server A according to the serial number A_(SN) of the service trusted server A to obtain {CMH1, CMH2, . . . , CMHn}.

Step 230, the trusted remote proving server V queries the policy library according to respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to the respective component of the service trusted server. The trusted remote proving server V compares the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value with the component hash value in the policy library table to determine whether they are equal. If the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value and the component hash value in the policy library table are equal, it is determined that the service trusted server A is legitimate, and Step 232 is performed. If the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value and the component hash value in the policy library table are not equal, the process 200 is terminated at block 234.

Step 232, the trusted remote proving server V sends the verification response to the service trusted server B, where the verification response includes the certificate of the trusted remote proving server V, the random number n−2 encrypted through the service trusted server B public key, and the legitimate message of the service trusted server A.

The legitimate message is as follows:

{Cert_AIK_(V), {n−2, OK}AIK_(pk) _(_) _(B)}.

On the service trusted server B side:

Step 236, the service trusted server B verifies whether the certificate of the trusted remote proving server V is legitimate. If the certificate is legitimate, Step 238 is performed. If the certificate is not legitimate, the process 200 is terminated at block 240.

Step 238, the service trusted server B decrypts the encrypted random number n−2 and the legitimate message of the service trusted server A through the private key of the service trusted server B, and obtains that the service trusted server A is legitimate.

Step 242, the service trusted server B and the service trusted server A perform data interaction.

FIG. 2E is a digest diagram of the verification process 200. FIG. 2E shows Steps 208, 212, 220, 224, 232, 236, and 343, which have been described above with reference to FIGS. 2A-2D and may not be repeated herein.

Based on the above, it should be noted that the above-mentioned random numbers n−1, n−2 are variant information of the random number n, which may be obtained by different variant algorithms. Here, only the above example is taken as an example for the sake of description. Other examples may be applicable as long as the trusted remote proving system provided in this application is achieved without specific limitation. The random numbers n−1, n−2, and the random number n are all to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks in the verification interaction, avoiding the problem of insecurity of plaintext transmission in the conventional techniques.

In addition, the above process is the verification of the platform identity and platform legitimacy of the service trusted server A by the service trusted server B. Similarly, the service trusted server A may also verify the platform identity and the platform legitimacy of the service trusted server B (in Step 218, the service trusted server B may transfer a newly added list of components of the service trusted server B, a list of policies used by the components, and respective metric results of the components to the service trusted server V). After receiving the information, the service trusted server V may simultaneously verify the platform identity and identity legitimacy of the service trusted servers A and B according to the same principle. The service trusted server V may simultaneously feed back the verification result {Cert_AIK_(V), {n−2, OK}_(AIKpk) _(_) _(B)} to the service trusted server B and the verification result {Cert_AIK_(V), {n−2, OK}_(AIKpk) _(_) _(A)} to the service trusted server A. In this way, two-way verification of the service trusted servers A and B is achieved. Subsequently, sensitive data interaction may be performed, of which the process is not repeated herein.

In the conventional techniques, based on the TPM remote proving protocol, assuming that there are three computers in the network, identities thereof are respectively denoted as ID₁, ID₂, and ID₃, where ID₁ represents the challenger, ID₂ represents the target, and ID₃ represents the privacy CA.

In the proving phase:

The proving phase is divided into three steps. FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart 300 of the remote proving phase of the TPM in the conventional techniques. The process is shown in FIG. 3:

Step 302: ID₁ generates a random number n₁.

Step 304: ID₁ constructs a challenge {ID₁, n₁, Sig(h(ID₁∥n₁)}.

Step 306: ID₁ sends the challenge to ID₂.

Step 308: When ID₂ receives the challenge, ID₂ extracts the identity ID₁ and random number n₁ of the sender of the message.

Step 310: The ID₂ generates a response. The response is recorded as: {ID₂, n₁, n₂, SML, PCR₁₀, Quote, Sig(h(ID₂∥n₁∥n2∥SML∥PCR₁₀∥Quote}.

Step 312: The ID₂ sends the response to

Step 314: When ID₁ receives the response, ID₁ first extracts the identity ID₂ and random numbers n₁ and n₂ of the message sender, and uses the public key of ID₂ to verify the signature of the message and the integrity of the message. Then, ID₁ verifies the signature of Quote. Next, a piece of stored metric log SML recalculates PCR₁₀ to verify the integrity of the SML. Finally, the PCR₁₀ is compared with the reference value, and each entry in the SML is checked one by one.

ID_(i) is an identity of the protocol participant. AIK is the identity certificate key of the TPM. AIK_(pk) is the public key part of AIK. AIK_(sk) is the private key part of the AIK. h: SHA-1 hash function. ∥: string concatenation operation. PCR_(i): the i-th platform configuration register. Ti is the TPM module of ID_(i). SML is a stored metric log file.

From the above, it can be seen that the TPM-based remote proving protocol has the following disadvantages:

In the TPM-based remote proving mechanism, SML or PCR₁₀ is transmitted in plaintext during transmission. During the transmission, if the information were intercepted, the privacy thereof would be leaked. At the same time, because the transmission is completely open to the challenger, no privacy protection is provided with regard to the challenger.

In view of the above, in the trusted remote proving system provided by the present application, because of the attribute information of the service trusted server, such as respective component and the policy identifier corresponding to respective component, and because the corresponding measurement algorithm are transmitted through encryption, it is ensured that the privacy information of the service trusted server platform may not be leaked.

In the example embodiments of the present application, the first service trusted server, the second service trusted server, and the trusted remote proving server are used. the second service trusted server is configured to receive a challenge request sent by the first service trusted server; obtain to-be-verified information of the first service trusted server in the challenge request; send the verification request to the trusted remote proving server, where the verification request includes the to-be-verified information of the first service server; and obtain the verification response returned by the trusted remote proving server. the trusted remote proving server is configured to receive the verification request sent by the second service trusted server, where the verification request includes the to-be-verified information of the first service server. the trusted remote proving server is further configured to return the corresponding verification response to the second service trusted server according to the verification request. The purpose of securing the privacy information of the service trusted server platform is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the security of information transmission. The technical problem of affecting the operation of the server terminal during the policy deployment and the information security issue caused by the plaintext transmission in the remote proving mechanism of the conventional techniques is solved.

In addition, the trusted remote proving system provided by this application in the initialization phase of the trusted remote proving mechanism is as follows:

In an example embodiment, the trusted remote proving system further includes a trusted policy management server (not shown). Before the second service trusted server 104 receives the challenge request sent by the first service trusted server 102, the trusted policy management server receives the platform metric policy request sent by the first service trusted server 102 and the second service trusted server 104 respectively; and return the corresponding platform metric policy response according to the platform metric policy request, so that the first service trusted server 102 and the second service trusted server 104 perform policy configuration according to the platform metric policy response.

In an example embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C, FIGS. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of an initialization process 400 in a trusted remote proving system according to Embodiment 1 of the present application. FIG. 4C is a digest diagram of the initialization process 400.

Take the service trusted server as an example, the service trusted server is marked as the service trusted server C, and the trusted policy management server is marked as the trusted policy management server S. On the service trusted server side:

Step 402, the service trusted server C sends the platform metric policy request to the trusted policy management server S.

The platform metric policy request includes the serial number C_(SN) of the service trusted server C, the certificate Cert_AIK_(C) of the service trusted server C, and respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to the respective component encrypted through the public key of the trusted policy management server S.

Here, if respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component is unknown, respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component may be obtained by querying the policy service center, or by requesting the policy service center to be newly created for the service trusted server C. In Step 402, it is assumed that the service trusted server C has obtained respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component.

The platform metric policy request includes the following:

{C_(SN), Cert_AIK_(C),

{Component_id, Policy_id,}AIKpk_s}.

On the trusted policy management server S side:

Step 404, the trusted policy management server S receives the platform metric policy request sent by the service trusted server C.

Step 406, the trusted policy management server S verifies whether the certificate of the service trusted server C is legitimate. If the certificate is legitimate, Step 408 is performed. If the certificate is not legitimate, the process 400 is terminated at block 410.

Step 408, the trusted policy management server S, through the private key of the trusted policy management server S, decrypts respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component encrypted through the public key of the trusted policy management server S.

Step 412, the trusted policy management server S writes the following items into the policy library, i.e., respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component, component metric algorithm (Component_Metri_Algorithm, CMA for short), component hash value (Component_Metri_Hash, CMH for short), and the attribute description of a software or hardware component (Component_attribute, CA for short) of the service trusted server.

Step 414, the trusted policy management server S queries the policy library according to the comparative component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to the component, to obtain the CMA and CMH corresponding to the policy identifier of the service trusted server C. The trusted policy management server S, through the public key of the service trusted server C, encrypts the respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to the service trusted server C, the CMA and the CMH corresponding to the policy identifier of the service trusted server C, to obtain the platform metric policy response. The platform metric policy response further includes a serial number C_(SN) of the service trusted server C and the certificate Cert_AIK_(S) of the trusted policy management server S.

Step 416, the trusted policy management server S sends the platform metric policy response to the service trusted server C.

The platform metric policy response includes the following:

{C_(SN), Cert_AIK_(S), {Component_id, Policy_id, CMA}AIK_(pk) _(_) _(C)}.

On the service trusted server C side:

Step 418, the service trusted server C receives the platform metric policy response sent by the trusted policy management server S.

Step 420, the service trusted server C verifies whether the certificate Cert_AIK_(S) of the trusted policy management server S is legitimate. If the certificate is legitimate, Step 422 is performed. If the certificate is not legitimate, the process 400 is terminated at block 424.

Step 422, the service trusted server C, through the private key AIK_(priv) _(_) _(C) of the service trusted server C, decrypts respective component and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component encrypted through the public key of the service trusted server C, and the CMA corresponding to the policy identifier of the service trusted server C, to obtain respective component of the service trusted server C and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component, and the CMA corresponding to the policy identifier of the service trusted server C.

Step 426, the service trusted server C writes the CMA to each group corresponding to the policy configuration file, to remotely prove that the component uses the CMA response. That is, the metric policy of the component response is deployed.

FIG. 4C is a digest diagram of the verification process 400. FIG. 4C shows Steps 402, 406, 416, 420, and 426, which have been described above with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B and may not be repeated herein.

In conventional techniques, based on the TPM remote proving protocol, assuming that there are three computers in the network, identities thereof are respectively denoted as ID₁, ID₂, and ID₃, where ID₁ represents the challenger, ID₂ represents the target, and ID₃ represents the privacy CA.

In the initialization phase:

The initialization phase is shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of remote proving initialization process 500 of the TPM in the conventional techniques.

Step 502, the identity ID₁ of the protocol participant generates the identity certificate key AIK of the TPM.

Step 504, the identity ID₁ sends the public key AIK_(pk) of the AIK to certain software or hardware component attribute description (Component_attribute, CA for short) of the privacy service trusted server.

Step 506, ID₂ generates the AIK_(pk).

Step 508, ID₂ sends AIK_(pk) to privacy CA ID₃ to register the identity thereof.

Step 510, ID₂ writes the platform configuration information to the 10th platform configuration register, PCR₁₀.

From the above, it can be seen that the TPM-based remote proving protocol has the following disadvantages:

In the TPM-based remote proving mechanism, when the deployment checking policy is initialized, the platform configuration reference values are written into the PCR of the TPM and will take effect after started. Regarding BIOS, BMC and other firmware, and regarding the scenario where the system OS kernel or application software is constantly updated, due to the update of the platform configuration and system software and hardware, the checking policy is updated and the device is restarted, which makes the checking policy management difficult, and causes the interruption of business operations. Also, due to the update error of the checking policy, the check fails, and the system does not start up.

In view of the above, in order to overcome the deficiencies in the conventional techniques, in the trusted remote proving system provided by the present application, the service trusted server centrally deploys the metric policy through the trusted policy management server and the policy service center in which the trusted policy management server is located. The corresponding checking policy management and execution are performed by the policy service center. Therefore, the service trusted server may be prevented from updating the configuration of the checking policy locally because of changes in the hardware and software configuration of the platform system. Moreover, it is possible to avoid the scenario where local execution errors are caused by the checking policy configuration error, eventually resulting in that the system cannot start up.

In view of the above, in the trusted remote proving system provided by the present application, the service trusted server C, the trusted policy management service center server S, and the trusted remote proving service center server V have all obtained respective platform certificates Cert_AIK_(C), Cert_AIK_(S), and Cert_AIK_(V) from the PCA (platform certificate issuing center of the service server cluster). The respective platform public keys are AIK_(pk) _(_) _(C), AIK_(pk) _(_) _(S), and AIK_(pk) _(_) _(v). The respective platform private keys AIK_(priv) _(_) _(C), AIK_(priv) _(_) _(S), and AIK_(priv) _(_) _(V) are stored in respective TPM chips. PCA also has its own platform identity certificate Cert_AIK_(PCA), and the platform identity public key AIK_(pk) _(_) _(PCA) and private key AIK_(priv) _(_) _(PCA).

Moreover, in the service system, the trusted server cluster in an example embodiment maintains services such as creation, deletion, update, query, storage, automatic update detection, and delivery of the service trusted policy.

In addition, in the trusted remote proving system provided by the present application, the trusted remote proving service center and the policy service center share the organization policy library of software and hardware of respective server in the service server cluster. One of the policies in the policy library includes the following fields:

CSN: the serial number of the service trusted server SN.

Component_id: the id number of a software or hardware component of the service trusted server.

Policy_id: the id identifier of a certain metric policy.

CA (Component_attribute): the attribute description of a software or hardware component of the service trusted server.

CMA (Component_Metri_Algorithm): the component metric algorithm.

CMH (Component_Metri_Hash): the component hash value.

Here, the metric policy library table records applied by the various components of the server are as shown in Table 1:

TABLE 1 Policy_id SN Component_id CMA CMH CA 1 123456 1 SHA-1 hash BIOS firmware value 1 2 123456 2 SHA-3 hash graphic card value 2 firmware 3 123376 1 SM3 hash BIOS firmware value 3

The trusted server with the SN of 123456 apply the metric strategy 1 and the metric strategy 2 on its BIOS and graphic card firmware respectively. These two metric strategies use different metric algorithms to obtain two different metric hash values.

The trusted remote proving system provided by this application proposes an architecture, method, and system based on TPM remote proving. That is, the service trusted server centrally deploys metric policies through the policy service center, while the corresponding checking policy management and execution are performed by the policy service center. Based on the above solution, the service trusted server may be prevented from updating the configuration of the checking policy locally because of changes in the hardware and software configuration of the platform system. Moreover, it is possible to avoid the scenario where local execution errors are caused by the checking policy configuration error, eventually resulting in that the system cannot start up. The leakage of the privacy information of the service trusted server platform may be prevented during the information transmission.

Step 814, the trusted remote proving server queries the policy library according to respective component of the first service trusted server and the metric policy identifier corresponding to respective component. The trusted remote proving server compares the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value with the component hash value in the policy library table, and determines whether the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value and the component hash value in the policy library table are equal. If the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value is equal to the component hash value in the policy library table, then it is determined that the first service trusted server is legitimate, and Step 816 is performed. If the decrypted ciphertext of the component hash value is not equal to the component hash value in the policy library table, the process 800 is terminated at block 818.
